As a team you will measure the area you will use in your school, using tape measures and each person will make a birds-eye view sketch of this on graph paper. Use a scale of 1 cm to 1 metre. You need to calculate the area of the space in m².
You will be designing an area for student use. While you are there, brainstorm your ideal design for the area. How would you use the space? What features and furniture would you add? Make notes or sketches of your ideas.
Lesson 2
Team Leader and the Computer Modeller will run through Google Sketchup tutorials on the laptops. The Designer and the Accountant will collate the ideas and begin searching on the internet the costings of all items for the group.
(Use a map of your own school provided by your teacher)
To change the units in Google sketchup to metric units, go to WINDOW>MODEL INFO>UNITS and select decimal.
The other members of the group need to continue to get costings and use these to create their budget.
Lesson 8
Draw pictures of your design using Google sketchup to recreate the area according to your plans. Please capture a Bird's eye view and a side on view from Google sketch up and save as an image file.
Lesson 9
You will present the panorama and costings as a power point presentation.
